Kanan Robinson, BACP

Kanan Robinson is a counsellor with three years of practice and a BACP registration. She chose counselling after experiencing therapy herself and seeing how having a trusted listener can help when life feels heavy. She describes her role as accompanying people while they work through the things that trouble them. Kanan works in a humanistic, client-centred way and adapts sessions to each person. She also draws on NLP, hypnotherapy and timeline therapy techniques she trained in to offer extra options when they might help. The choice of methods and pace of work are guided by the person in the room. People come to her for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, panic attacks and self-harm. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, workplace problems, eating and sleep difficulties, and the emotional effects of cancer or life changes. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to focus on and how quickly they wish to move. Kanan aims for a straightforward, down-to-earth style and encourages practical steps alongside talking. She will explain options and invite clients to try techniques that may suit their goals. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English. Before booking, clients should check session arrangements and scheduling so they know how to proceed and what to expect.

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The counsellor offers empathy, reflection and acceptance while the client decides what to explore. This approach is helpful for stress, low mood, relationship worries and life transitions because it starts from what matters to the client.

Where extra techniques are useful, Kanan may introduce elements from NLP or hypnotherapy that she trained in. These are presented as options to try rather than mandatory steps, and they can be used alongside talking to address habits, confidence and control issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor and client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful for the individual.

Session arrangements are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where needed. It can also let clients access support while managing health challenges or busy schedules, with the format chosen to suit practical needs rather than as a fixed promise.
